Since then SF has released several updates to OrcaSlicer, with the latest including very welcome updates to the Calibration section. ![]() That was how I found it before my X1C purchase - he had added a Creality CR-10S Max that I used on my CR-10S to get familiar before purchase, and I found the software was excellent, even better than the Cura I was used to. He also added machines besides BL’s X1C, P1P and AMS. SF couldn’t call his product Studio, so he opted for OrcaSlicer. One of the first thing he worked on was Pressure Advance, which BL quickly saw as something they wanted to support and Studio released an update with some of his code (as I understand it) in an update. Being a “one man band” he can respond and make changes faster than BL’s design team can as they have to make super sure all’s well before releasing Studio updates. SoftFever (SF) - IDK the full history SF played, but he’s been a player in the 3D software game for years and he saw things he wanted to do to enhance Studio. That opened the Studio software up for others to play with (or fork). This weighed heavy for me in my purchase as it showed they kept their word, something that’s sometimes rare in business. At first, they kept it to themselves, but promised to release the code to Open Source when it was ready, and they did. An offshoot.īL did a fantastic job of taking the best bits and making an easy to use, ready to go software to control the printer, prepare models for printing (Slicer) and even let you watch via a camera. (I’m keeping it simple folks).Ī ‘fork’ is just a term for a branching, related, software that takes another path like a tree branch does. What this means is the code that makes it work is available for anyone to use and modify to their needs. ![]() What made that all work was the nature of those items all were Open Source. One of the core things they brought to the table was the amazing Studio software, a fusion of the existing Prusa Slicer, Super Slicer and pieces from Cura Slicer. It boils down to understanding “Open Source Software” and “forks” (not the eating kind …LOL), so take 5 minutes to learn, and up your printing game.īambu Studio - Bambu Lab ( BL) totally shocked the 3D printing world with it’s magnificent X1C, AMS and P1P systems. There’s lots of help for Calibration, this is to help understand the software in general. I keep seeing posts of problems with prints and often the answer lies in understanding the settings or simple Calibration.īut I equally find there’s a lot of confusion around the Calibration in Bambu Studio and the lack of knowledge about the existence of SoftFever’s OrcaSlicer and how it can help you.
